Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has recently been shown to reduce the transformation rate of various aqueous organic contaminants submitted to oxidation by excited triplet states, apparently by inhibiting the transformation of oxidation intermediates. The m ...
The reaction of tetranitromethane with B-alkylcatecholboranes leads to the formation of unusual dinitrooxime ethers. A tentative mechanism is provided, which suggests the involvement of extremely fast addition of alkyl radicals to tetranitromethane. The su ...
The base hydrolysis reaction of Co(NH3)5Cl2+ was investigated using density functional theory and molecular orbital methods. Geometries and energies of conjugate bases, intermediates, transition states, and minimum energy crossing points were computed. For ...
Synthetic boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin film is an electrode material with high chemical and dimensional stability, low background current and a very wide potential window of water stability. Upon anodic polarization, BDD generates hydroxyl radicals that ...
16-Membered meta,para-cyclophanes mimicking the vancomycin binding pocket (D-O-E ring) are designed and synthesized. The structural features of these biaryl ether contg. macrocycles are: (a) the deletion of the carboxyl group of vancomycin's central amino ...
Assigning functions to every gene in a living organism is the next challenge for functional genomics. In fact, 85-90% of the 19,000 genes of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans genome do not produce any visible phenotype when inactivated, which hampers det ...
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equiv. to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic ac ...
A unified strategy for the synthesis of mauritines A (I), B, C, and F has been developed based on a key intramol. nucleophilic arom. substitution reaction (SNAr) for the formation of the strained 14-membered paracyclophane. It was demonstrated that the out ...
The authors have studied the electrochem. oxidn. of H2SO4 on B-doped synthetic diamond electrodes (BDD) obtained by hot filament CVD on p-Si. High current efficiency for H2SO4 oxidn. to peroxodisulfuric acid can be achieved in concd. H2SO4 (>2M) at moderat ...
Technetium is an artificial element and its isotope 99mTc is now used for several years as radio-imaging agent. Much research effort is directed towards enhanced targeting of the imaging agents in order to improve accuracy of the diagnosis and reduce the r ...
